Ihavent been out for a while at the weekends because ive felt "ill" because of worrying that i am. i missed out this weekend just gone because i had the butterflys in my stomache. but this weekend i really REALLY want to go out. do you think i should just go for it. If i have the butterflys maybe i should just re assure myself that i dont feel ill. mehh advice welcome.!

I definitely think you should go out. Maybe make arrangements so that if you needto leave early you can. I always feel better knowing I have an "out" if I need it. I ALWAYS take my own car when i go out with friends so i don't get stuck somewhere.

yeah thats a good idea. usually once i start drinking im fine. makes all the anxiety go. ill just have to push myself. the always having an "out" is a good idea.. ill have to arrange something. thanks

i agree, you should go out, i used to do the same thing, get excited
about going out and convince myself that the butterflies were a sign
of iminent illness, dont deny yourself some fun, you can always go
home if you feel uncomfortable , in my experience the thought of
doing it is far worse than the actual experience, getting out the
house is the hardest part once your out its all good, hope you have
a great weekend (go on its christmas [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img] ) x emma x

yeah, I am the same way, I really have to force myself to go out, but after that first drink i have no worries
